Abstract
This paper extends a previous study of free-surface flow over two localised obstacles using the framework of the forced Korteweg–de Vries equation, to an analogous study of flow over two localised holes, or a combination of an obstacle and a hole. Importantly the terminology obstacle or hole can be reversed for a stratified fluid and refers more precisely to the relative polarity of the forcing and the solitary wave solution of the unforced Korteweg–de Vries equation. As in the previous study, our main concern is with the transcritical regime when the oncoming flow has a Froude number close to unity. In the transcritical regime at early times, undular bores are produced upstream and downstream of each forcing site. We then describe the interaction of these undular bores between the forcing sites, and the outcome at very large times.
